curious if there are any red flags on the authenticity of this watch. runs great. looks pretty clean, but claims not refinished. appreciate any input.

Pics of movement, inside of caseback and a straight-on shot of dial would all be nice.

It looks refinished. Minute hashes are way too long. Hands, if original, appear to have been relumed as well.

Dial has been re-inked / repainted. No Swiss Made visible, markers as @BenBagbag noted, "E" of Omega is centred (incorrect), font of Omega and Automatic is clumsy.

Dial refinished and not well.

Pass.

It looks good at first glance, but then when you look at it properly you notice the dial, hands, wording and etc are all incorrect.

As others have said, pass it by. I'm sure there's many other vintages in better condition that you would enjoy wearing.

will likely pass as there are many other nicer examples of Seamasters out there!
